Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Howie Mandel is upset that new America’s Got Talent judge Howard Stern is getting all the attention from fans as the NBC show crisscrosses the nation searching for talent, the New York Post reports. A source tells the newspaper, “Howie is getting jealous because Howard is getting the loudest applause and all the attention on America’s Got Talent.”
The source says Mandel was overheard complaining about Stern at an AGT taping in San Francisco. No word if fellow judge Sharon Osbourne is also upset.
An NBC rep tells the Post there’s no truth to the rumor Mandel is upset with Stern. The rep says, “The judges are all good friends and are very supportive of each other.”
